Peninsula Asteroid

The gold content of this award is average. It is an awards ceremony in the fashion industry of the Peninsula. The organizer is CJ E\u0026M, which is the same production company as "Reply 1997", so Chi Jingyuan must participate.

After winning the "Fashion Idol Award" from the class together with Zheng Eundi, Chi Jingyuan didn't even go back to the dormitory, and flew to Neon overnight.

Chi Jingyuan felt that this "Fashion Idol Award" was a bit like a participation award. There were ten groups of artists who won the awards, and he and Zheng Eundi counted as one group.

However, the status and fame of other winners are quite strong, such as Lim Soo-jung, Jang Dong-gun, Ha Jung-woo, etc., are all well-known actors in the peninsula.

After arriving at Neon, he took the time to rest for a while. The time for the family concert on the 26th was very tight, and he had to get up in the morning for makeup and rehearsal.

The modes of these family concerts are not too different. Anyway, EXO’s stage is basically exactly the same, and there is no need for special preparation.

After the concert, they rested for one night and flew back to the peninsula in the morning of the next day. Tomorrow there will be commercial performances and announcements, and there will be a stage for The Show on the 29th.

Chi Jingyuan still has a slight fear of heights, and he has done it several times by flying back and forth in the past few days, which is quite tortured.

The M team also came back together, and their recent schedule has also come to an end, and Luhan and Kim Jong-in have recently collaborated on a track "Maxstep" with several seniors of the company.

This song is a promotional song created by SM for Hyundai. Several popular groups of the company will form a temporary group, and they will work together to complete the recording and stage of the entire song.

Including Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon, Shining's Lee Taemin, SJ's Lee Hyukjae, and EXO's Luhan and Kim Jongin.

In fact, according to EXO's current popularity and celebrity status, these two people are not compatible with the previous seniors. Letting them join this temporary group can be regarded as the company's behavior of pushing them.

The company has main promotion members in both EXO teams, M team is Luhan, and K team is Kim Jong-in, these two people are better than others in terms of released materials, exposure, personal information, and even the C-camera and Killing part of the stage Obviously more.

They are the strengths of popularity that the company initially hoped to create among the two teams, hoping to make them the most popular TOP in the team and bring enough attention to them, and then feed back to the entire team.

It's a pity that the push was pushed, and a lot of resources were released, but it didn't achieve the expected harvest.

The current situation is that Chi Jingyuan is the most popular in the EXO team. Among all the members, his popularity is completely broken. The second place is far behind him, and he is in a state of being the best.

Chi Jingyuan was a group that airborne two months before their debut. In fact, the company had already made plans and plans for the publicity and main promotion after EXO's debut. After Chi Jingyuan joined, the company did not change the plan, and at that time They don't know much about Chi Jingyuan either.

Among the two songs in the MVs of the mini album, Chi Jingyuan’s part and C-position shots are not the most, they can only be regarded as above-average, and there are very few exposures before his debut. There is only one debut teaser video, and Luhan , Kim Jong-in's constant exposure is completely incomparable to the large number of debut teaser videos.

Among them, Chi Jingyuan joined the company rather hastily, and his debut time was too tight to have a certain relationship with the filming, and there were some reasons why the company did not promote him.

But to the company's surprise, since Chi Jingyuan's teaser video was released, EXO's popularity is no longer under their control. Just one video has brought a considerable degree of exposure and popularity to Chi Jingyuan , and also absorbed the first batch of die-hard fans for him.

This is even more so after the official debut, because the style of the song and the appearance design are not popular, the title song actually did not bring a great boost to the popularity of the members. growing against the trend.

This is especially true after the broadcast of "Please Answer 1997". The popular TV series has brought a lot of popularity and heat, and also brought a lot of new fans and national awareness. Now many people who don't pay attention to boy groups They only know Ji Jingyuan, the actor of Yun Yunjae, but they don't know the group EXO from which he was born.

It can only be said that in the show business circle, to some extent, a small fire depends on praise, and a big fire depends on fate.

Of course, there are also many people who pay attention to EXO because of Chi Jingyuan, which can be regarded as a kind of popularity feedback.

At present, his popularity alone has accounted for more than half of the entire group. The other popular members of the team can only smell his exhaust, and some of them are almost invisible.

This is actually abnormal and unhealthy for a combination. Although the company is excited about Chi Jingyuan's popularity, the economic benefits he brings and the benefits to the team. But I am also very anxious to increase the popularity of other members, at least so that their popularity will not be too far away, so that this group will not be reduced to Chi Jingyuan and his 11 backup dancers.

In addition to the original policy of promoting Luhan and Kim Jong-in unchanged, we are also trying to get other members to mention it.

This temporary combination is another attempt.

Judging from the current situation, Luhan is indeed very popular. In the team, it can be said that he is only inferior to Chi Jingyuan, not losing to other popular local members. Xia Guo's popularity is even hotter.

Kim Jong-in is a lot worse. I don’t know why. Even though he has a lot of exposure, as the main dancer, he has a lot of C parts when he is on stage, but it seems that many fans don’t like him. Online There are still many people complaining about his ugly appearance.

Even Oh Se-hoon and Park Chan-yeol, who have not been promoted much, have caught up with their good looks, and their popularity is not much lower than him.

But it's not too surprising, because appearance is one of the core competitiveness of idol groups.

Improving the popularity of other members and the group as a whole is not an easy task, unless there is a hit song that makes the whole group gain huge popularity, then the popularity of EXO can catch up, and the name EXO really started to go out in circles, and Not just 'the group from which Chi Kyung Won was born'.

…………

The time has entered November, and it is the end of the last two months.

The day before yesterday, "Maxstep", a collaboration between SM's temporary group, was officially released. The response was mediocre, and the popularity it caused was not very high.

The main reason is that the song is mediocre, the melody is not attractive, and the whole process is full of electronic sounds and rapid drum beats. Not only does it not sound fashionable, but it makes people feel a little noisy.

And although the members of this temporary group are all from the popular group, they are not the most popular members of their respective groups, so they are not particularly attractive.

The final problem is that songs can't bring people, and people can't bring songs.

This time the attempt is not considered a success, the company is expected to be somewhat disappointed.

At this time, all twelve members of EXO are gathered in the practice room, listening to the guidance of several teachers.

They are about to start preparing for several important end-of-year stages.
